Page 23 of ARIDHI: His Never-Ending Desire

Gunjan Rathore, Ruvit's Grandma was standing on the stage with Ananya.

Everyone looked at them with mixed emotions. Mostly Everyone was shocked.

"I warned her. I warned her to not ruin my son's life!!" Ritu mumbled.

Grandma looked at Ruvit with expected eyes. Ruvit stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage.

"Is he going to accept this!?" Aridhi thought to herself.

Grandma gave the mic to Ruvit and he took it.

"Good Evening Everyone. Thanks to all who came here and dedicated their time and best wishes to My Brother and My Soon-to-be Bhabhi!" Ruvit said confidently.

"I would like to apologise as I also didn't knew about what Grandma announced just now but we did discussed about this topic!" He continued.

"I already told my grandma that I'm not interested. Also I clearly rejected Ananya infront of her and told Ananya to stay away from me!" He said in a cold tone.

"I don't know why she still announced our Marriage. I'm really sorry for the disregard but make it clear that I'm not marrying Ananya!" He finished.

"That's My Son!" Ritu felt proud.

Ruvit's eye colour turned reddish from its original black colour.

He was clearly not happy with this decision of her grandmother.

Aridhi kept her hand on her chest to calm her unusual heartbeat.

"I can't believe Ruvit disagreed infront of everyone, knowing that it was the question of his reputation!" She mumbled.

"What are you saying Ruvit!?" Grandma shouted at him, "Do you know how much negativity is going to spread about Rathore's about what you did just now!?" She said in a hush voice.

"You should think about that before announcing my marriage with this bitch!" Ruvit said to her grandma.

"Ruvit!! Please don-" Ananya tried to speak.

"Shut Up!! You have no right to speak in between MY FAMILY MATTERS!" Ruvit cut her off.

"Sir, Do you have a girlfriend? I mean there are rumours about your affair. It was shown on yesterday's news!" A random people from media said.

"Yes Yes! You were hugging her infront of NY showroom!!" Another random people said.

"Tell us about her!!" Media shouted.

"Are they talking about me?" Aridhi asked to herself.

"Silence Please!" Ruvit commanded and media got silent in one go.

"She isn't my girlfriend but my best friend whom I know since childhood. She is really close and important to me." Ruvit declared on the mic, making Aridhi blush.

Ruvit looked at Aridhi and gestured her to come on stage. Aridhi hesitated but Ruvit assured her by passing a smile at her.

Aridhi stood up from her seat and started to walk towards the stage. Meanwhile camera men started clicking her pictures.

"Bhaiya, It is going to be a blast if this news reached Maa Papa!" Abhir whispered to Vinayak.

"Why fear when Ruvit is here!? It's his duty to convince his future in-laws!" Vinayak whispered back.

"What kind of brother are you!? You agreed so easily!? Be a little overprotective and if you can't, I will because I can't let my sis leave me so easily." Abhir stated firmly.

"Ruvit is a nice guy plus a total green flag for Aridhi. I am sure he will keep her the happiest." Vinayak said while smiling.

Ruvit forwarded his hand to Aridhi and she held it to climb up on the stage.

"Such a gentleman he is for his girl!"

"She is so Beautiful!!"

"Did you noticed how he helped her to come on stage!!"

"Just Looking like a Wow!!"

"I can't believe ruthless man like Mr. Rathore has such a cute bestie!"

"They both look so good together!"

"God, I want her natural beauty!!"

"I will ship them from now on!!"

"OMG! I just saw a Goddess"

"Power couple!!!!"

These type of comments from the media were heard.

"Your girlfriend won't like it" Aridhi whispered to Ruvit.

"It's okay. I will explain the situation to her and she will definitely understand, hopefully." Ruvit whispered back.

"Mam, please come a little closer to sir!" One reporter requested.

Just then Ruvit kept his hand on her waist and asked her consent through eyes.

Aridhi smiled and Ruvit took it as a chance to pull her closer. Photographers and other paparazzi clicked their pictures.

"Aaj se phle to kabhi permission nahi mangi!" Aridhi whispered.

(You have never asked for permission before today!)

"Aaj se phle kabhi itne saare logo k samne aapko touch bhi to nhi kiya. Isliye socha puch leta hu, kahi aap shrma jao sbke samne." Ruvit whispered back.

(I have never touched you before in front of so many people. That's wae I thought of asking, who knows you feel shy in front of everyone!)

"Seems like they are also going to end up marrying with us!" Ridhima chuckled to Manish.

"I'm happy for her!!" She expressed further.

?

The Engagement day ended with all the drama and commotion. It was a brand new day.

Ridhima went with Vinayak and Manish somewhere outside. Abhir went with Dhruv for a Bike Race.

And Aridhi was getting ready to go Rathore mansion. She was wearing a Tank top and cargo pants.

"I don't know what should I wear. I mean I look Beautiful in every dress but still I can't risk it. Should I wear a saree?" Aridhi thought to herself.

"No No. Everyone will question if I will go in a saree to meet Ruvit" She sighed.

Suddenly she got an idea.

She walked towards the wardrobe and pulled out a Black Saree with its blouse, shapewear and bangles. She kept them in her Handbag.

She got car keys from Ridhima and made the way towards Rathore mansion.

I don't know if she will come or not but whatever I will wait.

I'm in Garden watering the Flowers. Then I heard the sound of the car.

I walked towards the main door as My Heart is saying it's her and it's her for real.

I plucked up a Red Rose from the Garden as She walked towards me with a handbag in her hands.

As Always Looking Beautiful!

"Aankho mein kajal aur Zulfein khuli huyi, Chehre pr aapki yh Muskan saji huyi. Arey Aise hi Jaan Maang lete, Itne Intezaam ki aapko kya jarurat padi" I said in a musical tone while forwarding the Rose infront of her.

(A/N: If someone can translate it, Please do.)

She took the Rose from My hands while Blushing. Meanwhile My hands reached to her hair strands to put them behind her ear.

"Arey Aridhi Beta!" Maa came out. Aridhi wished her and chit chat for awhile.

Maa gestured us to go inside. Just then I noticed that Me and Aridhi walks in a rhythmical manner.

When I lift my right leg, she also lift her right leg and vice versa. We entered inside the Rathore mansion at the same time with the same feet.

Aridhi's kanhaji, I will take it as a clue.

"What should I-"

"Maa! Call Me downstairs when tea gets ready and please don't let anyone come in my room. It's a very important work!" I whispered to Maa before she could say further.

I gestured Aridhi and she followed me to my room.

I opened the door of my room on which Aridhi's eyes were sparkling.

"I hope everything is according to your likings!" I said scratching the back of my neck.

"Isn't it too dark!?" She questioned.

"If you want to change something, just order M'lady. Whatever you say goes!" I said.

"Okey but where is your girlfriend!?" She asked.

"Don't worry about her. She will herself come through that" I said while pointing at the Balcony Gate.

She nodded her head.

"So Are you going to compete with My girlfriend in these clothes? I mean they aren't looking bad but My Girlfriend is going to wear a Saree!" I said.

"I don't know how to drape a saree but I have brought it here with me!" She said while showing me the handbag.

"One minute, You aren't expecting me to help you in draping the saree. Right!?" I questioned on which she gave me a thumbs up.

"C'mon Ruvit help me. I can't lose!!" She said frustratingly.

"See Youtube tutorials!" I suggested.

"Wae? Don't you know how to do it? You might have saw uncle doing it for aunty. Haven't you?" She narrowed her eyes.

"Are you questioning my potential?" I crossed my arms near my chest, "Remove these clothes and Immediately wear the Blouse and Shapewear!" I said in a commanding tone.

"Infront of you?" She smiled sarcastically on which I turned my face to opposite direction.

"I'm Done!" She said after sometime and I turned towards her again.

"Don't stare anonymously at my visible bare skin!" She said while giving me a Black Saree.

She was wearing a black shapewear and flower designed backless blouse. Her Perfect waist was clearly visible. Her Figure was clearly adorned.

Fuck! She is looking sexy like this. What's the need to drape the saree!?

I took the saree from her hands and bend down on one knee infront of her.

"I liked this view of yours, kneeling down infront of me!" Aridhi chuckled.

"Just wait until you would be in my place!" I mumbled, "It's nothing for me Jaan. I am just bowing My Respect to My Queen!" I said while looking up at her.

She averted her gaze at the dressing mirror to cover her blush.

Just then I started, a knocking sound was heard on the door.

We looked at eachother with wide eyes.

"Beta Tumhari Chai" We heard Maa.

"Go inside the Bathroom!!" I said to Aridhi while pointing at its direction.

Aridhi took the saree and followed my command.

I stood up straight and went to open the door.

"I told you to call me downstairs and you came up!?" I whined.

"Haan Haan, Jaise Mujhe pata hi nahi kya khurafat chal rhi hain yaha" She teased. (Yes Yes, as if I don't know what is going on here)

Wtf!? She knows about what!!!
